Ho Chi Minh City, located on the Mekong River in Vietnam, is a fascinating destination for travellers to Southeast Asia. It was once an
131
important trading center for the French in Southeast Asia and the influence of French culture can still be felt. For example, many people, especially the older generations, learned French in school and still can speak it very well. In addition, some cafes serve French-style bread and pastries in Ho Chi Minh City and expensive hotels and restaurants serve French food. Another sign of French influence is that many of the buildings in the city are built in French style. There are also museums and monuments documenting the country's long—and often bloody— history. The Vietnamese and the French also fought but the French eventually left the country. If you are looking for a unique city to visit in Southeast Asia, Ho Chi Minh City is an attractive choice.
